Formative assessments are used to guide students. With the results from the formative assessments, teachers
are able to determine the next steps, give guidance to students through mini lessons in small groups, determine who needs extended learning, and much more.
There are a variety of ways to gather formative data: backchannels, discussion threads, self-grading quizzes, progress monitoring, Google Drive (Docs & Forms), exit tickets, and with a barometer of learning.

BackChannels

A backchannel is the conversation that goes on alongside the primary activity, presentation, or discussion.
